Interviewing, hiring, and onboarding is an expensive and time-consuming endeavor for any company. Therefore, during the selection process they have to determine which candidates want to work specifically for them, and not just land any inconsequential job. They want to invest in someone who has a plan, or career goals and objectives which align with Zillow's values and philsophy, and someone who embodies the culture of their brand. Many career minded professionals have a 5-10 year career plan. Describe your career plans, goals, and how those fit with what Zillow can offer you shortly down the road. Describe your passion for this opportunity, and where you see your career taking you! Fully research the company, their current openings, and all the messaging and keywords listed on Zillow's career site. This will help you align your mission with theirs.

"I am thrilled to be interviewing at Zillow for your front-end developer opportunity. I believe with the talents and skill set I bring to your team, we will solve some stimulating challenges. This role is an opportunity I have been seeking for some time now, so I plan to stay for the long term should I be lucky enough to be hired. If I were to have an opportunity for growth at Zillow, I saw a job posting for a senior front end software development engineer that caught my eye. This role is one I would be happy to grow into over time."

"One year from now, I would like to see myself climbing the ranks within your engineering team. It's important to me that I continue to learn and grow, applying my skills to the best of my ability for my employer. I saw a Data Engineer position on your website that caught my eye. I would need to strengthen my experience in Python development; however, this is a nice goal to set."

Strategy is what I do and housing is what I love. One year in I'll be more effective because I'll be more familiar with the team, the cross-functional operators, and the important details. I have earned every responsibility, far more than I could have imagined at year one. I expect Zillow to be no different in this respect, but far more interesting to solve for my passionate purpose.
